While I hate to sidetrack the whole “heathy eating” series Terry has been sharing, I am going to jump in with this amazing cupcake recipe I found.

Everything in moderation? Yes?

Chocolate Cupcakes with Caramel and Sea Salt.

I made these cupcakes this weekend, and they were to good not to share. I found the recipe on the gorgeous blog of Jenny Steffens Hobick, and immediately pinned it. Then I cooked them.

We had some very special company this weekend. Some of my husband’s extended family, who have always been so hospitable us, were here for a visit. I wanted a very special–but also very easy– menu since we rarely get a chance to host them in return. I will be sharing some other recipes from the night as part of our “easy entertaining” series in the next few weeks.

But, back to the cupcakes!

These were scrumptious. They use a store bought cake mix, but are topped with a decadent chocolate buttercream frosting, then drizzled with caramel topping and lightly sprinkled with sea salt. Yum.

Please visit Jenny’s blog soon for the recipe to make some for yourself.

Thanks for stopping by!
